Method, apparatus and system for use in manufacturing a material

A method for use in manufacturing a material having a value for a first measurable material property in a pre-determined range of values, the method comprising:

• obtaining a first set of input parameters;
• predicting or triggering predicting a value for the first measurable material property of a material based on the obtained first set of input parameters using a predictive model trained based on a stored plurality of data sets, wherein one or more data sets of the plurality of data sets comprise respective measured values for the first measurable material property,
• wherein each data set of the plurality of data sets is associated with a respective manufactured material of a plurality of manufactured materials, wherein the data set comprises respective input parameters, wherein the respective material was manufactured based on the respective input parameters, and wherein the data set comprises respective measured one or more values of respective one or more material properties of the respective manufactured material;
• and
• determining or triggering determining, at least based on the predicted value for the first measurable material property, a second set of input parameters for manufacturing a material.
